What should be standard?
Cultural literacy advocates argue that the standards should include specific requirements of content; for example, all students must read Grapes of Wrath or know that two triangles are congruent if they have the same two sides separated by the same angle. I hope that we might consider a more open but equally rigorous standard; for example, every student must study a book as good and as relevant as Grapes of Wrath.
